We operate at nanosecond latency levels, where every cycle counts, and we are looking for a highly skilled C++ Developer with quant expertise to join our elite team.

Build robust, scalable, and high-performance trading infrastructure with nanosecond-level precision.
Continuously optimize algorithms and systems for speed, throughput, and reliability.
Integrate your code with our analytics platform to provide real-time KPI visibility to leadership (no interruptions, no status calls).
Deliver high-quality, production-ready code on Swiss working hours to align with our market activity. But can work from anywhere in the world.
What we are looking for:
Proven expertise in C++ (C++17/20) with a focus on low-latency, high-performance systems.
Strong background in quantitative finance, trading, or market microstructure.
Experience with exchange protocols, order books, and market data feeds is a big plus.
Deep understanding of multithreading, concurrency, lock-free programming, memory management, and CPU/GPU optimization.
Ability to work autonomously, with a strong sense of ownership and precision.
Familiarity with Linux-based development environments.
Passion for building fast, reliable, and elegant trading systems.
Fluent in English or German
What we offer:
Competitive fixed salary with performance-based bonus: for every line of code that contributes to profit, you share in the upside.
Pure coding focus: no disturbing meetings, no corporate bureaucracy. Updates are shared via Telegram messaging.
High impact, real-world results: every feature you build is directly linked to our trading P&L.
Fully remote work, with the only requirement being Swiss working hours for deliverables.
Opportunity to work with quants and technologists at the frontier of HFT.
A culture of speed, precision, and innovation — where your code literally moves the markets.
